V-RAIL AND DRAWER MOUNTING SYSTEM THEREWITH BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONWith the present inflationary spiral of costs on every front ofbusiness, it becomes incumbent to be able to reduce manufacturing,storage, inventory and labor l costs as much as is feasible andpractical and yet provide a product which is commercially acceptable forits intended purpose.

In the installation and support of drawers of the type found in cabinetsin the household kitchen or those found in other fields of use such asrecreational vehicles, boats and the like, it has heretofore been founddesirable to mount a drawer on a monorail type of support system so asto permit ease of sliding movement of the drawer in and out of thesupport frame or cabinet.

One type of drawer slide or track mounting system is that disclosed inU.S. Pat. No. 3,094,363 to Fremstad, et al., wherein a track member ofmonorail design is provided to coact with a wheel member of a drawer inorder to obtain rolling support and ease of movement of the drawerwithin and without of the drawer frame supporting structure.

Another type of drawer and support system is that as disclosed inHolmes, et al., US. patent application Ser. No. 193,661 filed Oct. 29,1971 and now issued as US. Pat. No. 3,784,274. In said pendingapplication, a drawer is provided of a type which receives a rollermember which coacts with a super positioned monorail or track member soas to provide rolling movement for the drawer action within the drawerframe wr support.

Another type of system for supporting a drawer within a drawer frame inrolling relationship therewith is that as disclosed in US. Pat. No.3,387,906 to Edwards.

These prior art structures, while providing an adequate and acceptablesystem for the mounting of a drawer within a cabinet or support fixtureor the like, have entailed relatively expensive roller members forassociation with the drawer and/or have necessitated singular placementof the monorail or track with respect to the drawer within the drawersupport or cabinet. With the hereindisclosed invention, a uniquelyconfigured V-rail track and system for mounting drawers utilizing saidV-rail or track is disclosed, wherein the relatively expensive rollermeans is dispensed with and in lieu thereof a V-rail provided which maybe selectively adapted to be mounted below or above a drawer and tocoact with guide members so as to provide sliding movement of the drawerinto an out of the drawer cabinet or support frame.

Because of the flexibility and alternative manner of utilizing theV-rail track or support member of the invention, in overlying orunderlying relationship to the drawer which it supports, a high degreeof versatility is obtained and of course the consequential reduction ininventory of parts. Additionally, the provision of slide members asopposed to roller members to coact with the V-rail support or tracklowers the cost of the installation while still retaining the advantagesof having a drawer advantageously supported for ease of movement withrespect to the support system.

OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention toprovide a rail support for drawer support systems wherein it may beutilized in alternative relationship with respect to the drawer which itsupports.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BEST EMBODIMENTS CONTEMPLATED In describing one modeof the invention, reference will be made to a molded plastic drawer ofthe type having a slot configuration in the back wall for securement ofa guide or slide member wherein said drawer, not forming a part of thisinvention, is disclosed in Holmes, et al., U.S. pending patentapplication Ser. No. l93,66l filed Oct. 29, l97l and now U.S. Pat. No.3,784,274, the description pertaining to said drawer which is herebyincorporated by reference. It should be understood that the specifictype of drawer used for illustrative purposes is only for that reasonand the invention is not to be thereby limited. Indeed, with regard tothe alternate embodiment of the invention, it will be seen that theconventional type of wooden drawer is also utilizable with the device ofthe invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art will at once recognizethe adaptability of the invention to drawers of a myriad ofconfigurations and fabrication.

Referring now to FIGS. 1-7 inclusive, in particular and to other of thefigures as the description proceeds wherein like numeral of referencewill designate like elements throughout, it will be seen that the drawersupport system 2 comprises a V-rail 4, in this instance of integrallyfabricated metal having a length sufficient to span the depth of adrawer opening 6 formed by the usual and conventional drawer support orframe, as may be found in a cabinet or the like, utilizing front framemember 8 and rear frame member 10. It is, of course, understood that theframe structure also includes a front member I2 and a bottom member (notshown) to form the usual box-like structure found in cabinets and thelike for supporting drawers therein.

The V-rail 4 is of uniform cross-section area with legs of the V 14 and16 (FIG. 2) forming an included angle of approximately 60 with eachother and terminating in inwardly directed horizontal flange portions 18and 20 spaced from one another and forming through the length of therail 4, a guide path 22 as will become more apparent as the descriptionproceeds.

The opposed ends 24 and 26 of V-rail 4 are of sufficient size in orderto telescopically receive end support members 28 and 30. It will benoted that legs 14 and 16 of V-rail 4 are of equal length and arefabricated so as to have radiused corners or apexes 28, 30 and 32.

End supporting members 28 and 30 have a bracket portion 34 having holes36 to receive screws 38, where desired, and elongate slots 40 shouldnails or other screws be desired in order to position the support member28 and 30 in an adjustable vertical manner with respect to the frontframe member 12.

The members 28 and 30 are formed integrally of metal and extending fromthe bracket end 34 is an extending end 42 of congruent configuration tothe upper legs portion of V-rail 4 for tight, telescopicinterrelationship therewith, best seen in FIG. 4.

An intermediate web portion 44 between the end 42 and bracket end 34,completes the structure of support member 28 and 30. It will be notedthat the intermediate web portion 44 is of parallel wall constructionand flares outwardly to form the congruent side wall portion 42, whichis telescopically received by the ends 24 and 26 of V-rail 4. It willalso be noted that the end 42 is received within an end of the rail 4 asufficient distance in order to provide adequate rigid support thereforin cooperation with the oppositely disposed support member which istelescopically received in the opposite terminus of V-rail 4. Thesupport members 28 and 30 with the support ends 42, are easily securedto the front and back supports 8 and 10 in a manner well known in theart.

The support end 42 is slightly tapered as at 46 for ease of receptioninto the interior of V-rail 4 and connects to the intermediate webportion 44 by flared wall portion 48 terminating in shoulder 51 whichforms an abutment surface against which the end 24 of the V-rail 4 abutsso as to hold the V-rail 4 in secure relationship.

It will be noted that in this particular embodiment the drawer mountingsystem thus far described is positioned above the drawer which is to besupported within the drawer frame. It will also be noted that the V-rail4 is supported from support members 28 and 30 in such a manner as tohave the guide path 22 positioned in a horizontal plane above the drawer50.

The back wall 52 of drawer 50 (FIG. 6), is in this instance, providedwith a slot 54 which is adapted to receive a track guide member 56. Thetrack guide member, in this instance of molded, plastic, has an upperportion 58 having a slotted portion 60 congruently configured to V-rail4 and having a discontinuance, upper wall portion so as to form ends 61and 62 the lower surfaces of which ride upon guide path 22 formed byV-rail 4. The lower portion 64 of track guide member 56 has a tab-likeconfiguration for reception into the slot 54 formed in the back wall 52of drawer 50. To this end, the lower portion 64 has a lesser transversedimension at the lowermost end as compared to the uppermost endapproximately intermediate the upper portion 58 and the lower portion64. The track guide member 56 is provided with elongate slots 66 forpurposes which will become apparent with regard to the alternateembodiment of the invention.

Suffice to say in the particular embodiment under discussion, whereinthe drawer 50 is of molded plastic or the like, or of any other materialhaving an accommodating slot 54 to receive the tab end 64 of track guidemember 56, the latter member may be glued or otherwise secured to theback wall 52 of drawer 50.

The drawer 50 is also provided with lateral flanges 68 to be received byright-hand lateral guide member 70 and left-hand lateral guide member 72best seen in FIG. 2. Lateral guide members 70 and 72 are identical inconstruction with the exception that they are mirror images of oneanother for right and left-hand place ment to the drawer 50 and morespecifically, for se curement to vertical support members 9 and 11making up the drawer frame or support. Generally, lateral guide members70 and 72 are somewhat L-shaped in configuration having a securement end78 and 80 respectively with apertures by which means they may be rigidlysecured to members 9 and 11 in rigid fashion. The lowermost ends 81 and82 of lateral guide members 70 and 72 respectively, have an outwardlyextending projecting end for cooperative association with the flanges 68of drawer 50 forming with the side walls thereof elongate slots ortracks 84 and 86 extending the approximate length of the drawer 50 andbeing positioned on each of the lateral sides thereof. The support ends81 and 82 provide a planar portion 88 and 90 to receive the end portionsof the flanges 68 and upward projections 92 and 94 serve to captivelyretain the drawer 50 in supported relationship therewith so as to limitlateral movement of drawer 50 with respect to the drawer frame in whichit is supported.

Thus, in the specific embodiment just described, a V-rail is utilizedwhich cooperates with a track guide or slide member to slidingly supporta drawer within a drawer frame. In order to facilite such supportiveassociation, lateral guide members, such as 70 and 72 may be provided soas to provide adequate support for the drawer and to facilitate guidingmovement thereof within the drawer support frame or cabinet. Thus, it isseen that a drawer support system, utilizing a uniquely configured trackmember, dispenses with the necessity of having an expensively fabricatedrolling member in order to get satisfactory movement of a drawersupported within a cabinet or the like structure.

Referring now to the remaining figures of drawing, the alternateembodiment will be described wherein the support system is adaptable forutilization with a wooden drawer 95, for example, wherein the sameelements are utilized with the exception of the lateral guide members 70and 72 as previously described for the already described embodiment ofthe invention.

Thus, the V-rail 4 is of the same construction as the V-rail describedfor the earlier embodiment as is the support members 28 and therefor.However, as

6 shown in FIG. 8, the apex of the V-rail 4 is oppositely positioned tothat shown in the FIG. 1 embodiment and likewise, the support members 28and 30 are positioned below the drawer 95 as opposed to being positionedabove as for the FIG. 1. embodiment. Inasmuch as it is apparent that allstructural features with the exception of the lateral guide members arethe same except as pointed above, those of ordinary skill in the artwill at once appreciate the similarity of operation.

The track guide member 56 is secured to the lower portion of back wall96 of drawer 95 by means of screws 100 for example. Referring to FIG.12, it will be noted that the V-rail 4 now utilizes the apex 29 as aguide path whereas, in the previous embodiment, the flanges l8 and 20formed the guide path along which the guide or slide track member 56cooperated therewith in order to facilitate sliding motion of the drawerwith respect to V-rail 4.

As in the earlier-described embodiment, the opposed ends 61 and 62 ofguide track member 56 cooperate to captively retain the V-rail 4 incooperative association therewith. To facilitate sliding movement ofdrawer 95 in supported relationship, L-shaped lateral guides 102 and104, in this instance of molded plastic material, are positioned in thecorners of the drawer support frame I06 and permit bearing of the bottomwall 108 of the drawer 95 thereon as well as means to permit lateralguidance of side walls 110. L-shaped corner guides I02 and 104 may beadhesively secured to the lowermost corners of drawer support frame 106or otherwise secured in accordance with means well known to those ofskill in the art.

Thus, there has been disclosed, a V-rail support member and systemutilizing the same which is alternately suitable for supporting drawersfrom above or below in sliding relationship therewith.

While the invention has been described with specific materials ofconstruction and specific configuration, it will be understood thatvarious modifications and alternatives will suggest themselves to thoseof ordinary skill in the art and all such modifications and changes willnot depart from the essence of the invention and as defined by theappended claims.
